- I have a glass vase that changes color depending on lighting. Cool and beautiful effect, but what's the science behind it? In this video I examine it more closely and look into other color-changing glasses. It is beautiful!

This should be a preclude to teaching spectrometry. Would be perfect way to illustrate how we can identify what stars are composed of, or what the atmosphere of different planets are composed of.
You just helped me understand stars better, so it would probably work
UV vis baby!
Or what epectron clouds are doing in response to different energy photons re transmission.
SciFi hoopla. That kind of technology is purely speculation. Considering that carbon dating is bogus and that's technology that was developed in an environment we could physically touch, handle and verify.
@@anotherguy1260 what are you talking about spectrometry? or electron clouds¿
what do you think is actually happening to a photon ie light when it enters a substance?
How do you think phosphorescence works?
When photons come in they raise the energy level of the electrons within the substance.
when they return to their ground state they emit photons of a lower energy.
eg fluorescent tube. the UV emitted from the mercury hits the phosphor producing photons of lower energy ie white light.
How is this this sci-fi hoopla.????
wnd what does this have to do with the Nucleus of an atom or radiocarbon dating????
It's so weird how metals have the ability to infuse things with colors while in certain states. Chemistry is trippy.
Though there is no hard line separating the fields, t's really more physics here than chemistry. The colors are being created by very specific electronic transitions - d orbital transitions in the transition metals, f orbital interactions in the rare earths. Though the host material properties - amorphous glass or crystalline matter - do shift the absorption peaks of the dopant in different ways.
@@Muonium1 oh, wow, I'm just learning 12th grade chemistry and I'm absolutely green when it comes to the natural coloration of metals except of course their oxidation/crystallization. Thanks, I'll sure look more into it!
@@Muonium1 That's a pretty useless distinction tbh. all chemistry is physics. If you study chemistry you're going to end up spending more time studying orbital transitions than the average physicist, unless they specialize in transition metals or solid state.
@@ThePaintballgun and all physics is just mathematics, whine to someone else.
@@Muonium1 Why is it that people are incapable of addressing others on the internet in a civil manner?
Cool video! Never thought about the metals in glass.
Thank you very much, James. Metals are useful dopants for many uses.
Metals? Conductors you mean?
"Hey, honey, have you seen my green beads? I don't know where I put them..."
"I don't know sweetie, I only found these purple ones" :D
This needs to get a heart.
Thats the best anal bead joke I've ever seen, 10/10 gg
@@geyotepilkington2892 welp I thought they were wrist beads at first but I guess they're multipurpose
"I don't need purple beads Honey! Throw them in the bin and search for the Green ones" 😂😂
The reason that Cranberry glass, used in stainedglass windows/lamps, dishes, vases etc. is so expensive, is because of the precious metal (gold) used in making it.
And yet when you put nano sized particles of gold in water it turns green.
@@Braeden123698745,
"Metals in *water* are *AWESOME!*"
It depends... I've gotten 10 +/- piece lots at auction for $80 or so. I have perhaps 30 pieces in my collection. Vaseline glass (uranium) is interesting; I have a 3 piece console set circa 1930 I have yet to list on eBay. Iridized glass uses metal salts coated on the base glass and fired. I have a large vase which shades from light green at the top through clear then to light pink at the bottom; the metals are in the glass. It's known as "Watermelon glass" and is fairly rare. Rubina is interesting as well.
Cobalt/Molybdenum glass. They look the best out of all of them. And yes, I would like to see you showing us the IR emissions.
That deep blue cobalt glass really is stunning. No wonder, that cobalt glass is popular amongst collectors. I hope to get some tips on an inexpensive but well-made USB spectrometer. Thanks for watching!
Saaame. Those two shades of blue are great.
They look tasty.
Personally, I like Wolfram/Tungsten glass the most.
man that opening music tricked me into thinking im watching an SCP-illustrated video. good stuff!
ACR_master hahaha
wow, I work in an industry that deals with pigmentation so I've seen plenty of examples of metamerism but that demonstration at the beginning is one of the most impressive demonstrations I've seen of it. Usually, it's just something that looks a couple shades off in varied lighting, not entirely different colors.
It is as stunning in real life, since our eyes are good at 'white-balancing' to the used light sources. It is challenging to capture on video though, but with the right light sources and settings on the camera (and a lot of experimentation), it is possible to film. Glad you liked it!
5:17 I really like Erbium glass and Cobalt glass colors. Tungsten glass is also nice.
When you turn on the UV light, we're suddenly in space in Kerbal Space Program. :D
Hahaha, I've noticed it too 😂
Kerbal Space Program outer space background music activates above the altitude of 70000m in-game
This video is an example of why you're one of the best science channels on the internet today. Great video, man! And the photography during the montage was first rate, too. Gorgeous shots!
In a way, it's like the light properties of a rare gemstone, the Alexandrite, which changes color when exposed to various forms of light. Thank you for your informative vlog.
Yep, I think it's fantastic that nature can make gemstones with this property. Wish I could afford one :) Thanks for watching!
Your videos are simply wonderful they're a joy to watch and I appreciate all the work you put into him
No “U” glass? It’s one of the more common glasses to get hold of.
(Vaseline) Uranium glass has to be my favourite when it comes to fluorescing under blacklight.
No u
No u
No u
Big thing in thrift shopping..😬.. yes , its very interesting.. the green glass is awesome..😌
I am a borosilicate lampworker and the different properties of metals in our colored glass are probably the most important factor in working. Temperature level, flame chemistry (more or less oxididing/reducing), and the length of time the glass is exposed to specific temperatures all effect what color a glass will turn out (within the range of that mixture, of course) based on the metals within. We can also layer transparent colors over each other (as well as over opaque colors) to get dramatic effects as the light bounces around between the layers. Thank you for making this wonderfully in-depth video on how the metals in glass interplay with light to produce different colors!
Its interesting how both glass and metal share similar crystalline structures. I hope one day to drive a transparent metal car 😜
I'm really not trying to be an arse...
However... saying that glasses and metals have similar crystal structures makes material scientists twitch. Happy to explain what I'm on about if you're interested.
That being said, "glassy metal" car bodies could potentially become a thing. They'd not be see through though (a pity).
@@GemAppleTom *Twitch* Thanks Tom, nicely brought. Very diplomatic.
For the random wanderer who might end up here : try googling "Glass structure" and you'll understand :)
Transparent metal was already made centuries ago.
It's called chickenwire. ;)
Robbedoes LeGrand Touché, smarty pants :p
@@GemAppleTom haha I had a Brain fart. I meant non crystalline Amorphous metals have a glass-like structure.
I'll take subjects I rarely think of for $200, Alex 🍺
I miss was a very enjoyable presentation. I like the multiple use at the same time well done.
This is my first time seeing a video on your channel. That was very interesting and very well done too! I liked how you lined up the splits of the two different spectrums so we can easily see the differences. Great work!!!
What a lovely and well thought out video, thank you.
Light and its interactions with objects like this are always fascinating and very cool
This is awesome! I love the precise safety warnings before your videos. That’s something most science channels don’t do
Always love seeing your videos! never seen one that wasnt informing and/or fun to watch
It's so beautiful. Where did you get those glass drops?
I'd be interested to know as well.
I want to buy a set
Most probably from smart-elements.com
They're not cheap though.
@@oscarchampion5842 You can get those at smart-elements.com/wp at a discounted price.
Wow, very cool effects from those metal doped glass beads. Thanks for the video!
This was absolutely fascinating! I will totally be using this video to teach my kids about spectroscopy!
I need a 30 min video on this. Thank you. This is fantastic stuff.
This is really cool, thank you for sharing this.
I love the color change of the glass under different lights, I have to pick up some for myself because it's just so cool! I did not know neodymium doped glass changed.
Thank you for the awesome content! I've been interested in using metals to color glass since I first learned about blood glass long ago
I will never NOT want to see cool stuff. :) Every video from you is fascinating and I look forward to all of them!
Strangely mesmerising. Thank you. Very interesting ☺️
Wonderful video, Brian!! I'm gonna see it several times just to enjoy it.
Very well done I appreciate someone who can take the time to explain in layman's terms very simple to understand so the everyone can get in on the action thanks bro!
I have always loved glass with gold and cobalt. They are beautiful.
I could really watch this 2 or 3 times and still not pick up on all the information contained... stunning production, beautiful stuff
Your videos are always inquisitive and interesting. Of the highest quality. Thank you for your efforts to produce such excellent content!
Love your vids I've found everyone informational and interesting, your presentation is so on point too! Cheers!
Thank you very much! I do put a lot of time and thoughts into these videos. Glad it shows :)
That was pretty cool. Would definitely like to see more.
Another outstanding video! Great job!
Nicely done. Cool video. I like lights and optics. Cheers!
Fascinating stuff, thank you!
THANK YOU. Not (just) for the video, but because I've been trying to find the name of that song (Lightless Dawn) for AGES.
Very cool and scientific explanation of absorbtion/emission. Now I really want some glasses made of those top elements
I love your videos, they are so calming and I really dig your accent. Also, the way you say "awesome" is pretty cool :)
The video is stunningly well composed. Hats off!
Thank you very much. I did spend an unusual amount of time on scripting this. I got carried away and recorded way too much - making it a challenge to tie it all together to a single story/video :)
@@brainiac75 That was time well spent. I appreciate those videos, the difference to weekly scheduled content really is like night and day.
Really love the hue of the cobalt glass bead
I learn more from your videos than I ever did in my chemistry class. Thank you for the awesome content!
Top quality work again and a very interesting subject matter ;) Cheers.
Hooray! My favourite scientist has uploaded!
Thanks for the fast and enthusiastic view :-D
@@brainiac75 You are very welcome! Great content as always :)
Not sure why this video did not show up in my feed earlier, but I love it! It fascinates me how things look different based on the lights and filters being used :) I would love to see other wave lengths including IR
I thought I would see uranium glass. My favorite glass as its very fluorescing green, as we all imagine radioactive fuel
Me too. I have a uranium glass vase. It was a thing in early 20thC Australia.
It was a thing ...your health now depends on the art decisions of some high guy ...
@@garymingy8671 It's meant to be safe. I keep my toothbrush in it and haven't lost any teeth yet 😃
@@enuskolada6618 Uranium isn't all that dangerous unless you ingest it or rub it into your eyes.
Your epidermis is enough to shield you from the radiation emitted by a small lump of it, never mind the tiny amounts in a piece of glass, assuming the radiation can even escape the glass.
This was so awesome thank you.
Wasn't able to watch this immediately due to a phone call, but wow! Light really is such a cool thing! Also, the silver bead is easily my favourite! I love both the colour and the science needed for it to work!
I'm a photographer and I just bought an old Pentax lens with thorium in the coating of the rear element. As a result of this it has taken on a yellow tint through the years, and it is also radioactive. Supposedly the tint can be reversed by leaving it in direct sunlight for a day or two. Fascinating stuff!
Awesome video! cool that copper and cobalt have their distinct colour
The gold and the molybdenum are absolutely gorgeous. (I also love the iridium and the cobalt. I can’t pick one favorite lol)
That’s cool I work with glass and the CFL colors that are coming out are awesome. Some are even CFL and UV active
Fantastic video as always, keep it up! Your content is so cool!
Very enjoyable video as always.
This is so awesome. I LOVE LIGHT! (and metals of course)
This is a rather very very satisfying video!
Very nice as always.
Amazing as always every video is worth the wait!
Thank you very much, Damislego!
Great video as always, thanks!
thank you for this!
amazing video as always!
I haven’t gotten to see the top row yet I’m laminated properly, but the cobalt is super pretty and deep, but the bismuth one is really cool too!
This is wonderful!!!!💜💙💚💛🧡❤️
Those glass beads are beautiful
You have the coolest ideas!
Gold/Cobalt are my favorite metals in glass. And thanks for the great video
Then you would no doubt like to have a "cranberry" vase or plate. Goggle cranberry glass..very collectable.
The gold is particularly interesting. For its color is not due to simple electronic orbital transitions of individual metal atoms or ions, but rather arises from the presence of gold nanoparticles suspended in the glass which have very specific surface plasmon resonance states (delocalized electron oscillations that exist at the interface between the gold and glass) that absorb in the blue-green region. It is very very interesting.
Amazing channel. Thank you. I think the Cobalt bead is incredible. I would've liked to see you test out a Uranium glass bead as well!
great as always
Love this kind of stuff
Very interesting video. RUclips recommendations did well this time. I love science.
Very curious about where to acquire those beads~ Very beautiful and well done presenting it in video!
Beautiful.
Great content as always.
I love that intro graphic with the warnings so much
i really love the deep red of the gold glass, dang thats pretty
I've seen the gold and silver fluming in glass weed pipes here in the states, that's why sometimes your pipe will change colors after alot of smoke and resin has built up in it... that's really neat tho thanks for sharing
very cool properties!
Beautiful
Very much! I very much would like a follow up to this experiment!
That - was - AWESOME
That was really cool!
Always interesting and amazing videos
Dude. Soo cool. Thanks.
I am an amateur lighting designer. I would love to use this in a production to show a change in time or a different location. I love the science behind it and that different light sources create different spectrums. I don't think enough people notice it in their everyday lives, but it is always there and it affects everything around them.
cool video! i have a ashtray looking thingy made from glas that changes coler like your vase.. now i know why ''thumbs up''
A video I could only dream of. Tanks for testing all those metal glasses. I like the Eu one, but I miss the Uranium glass ;)
always learning something new.
I wouldn't mind seeing more videos exploring this. What I'd like to see most is if the metal concentration can be changed for more vivid colors and if you can mix different metals in the same piece of glass to get more shades?
Cool video! Part 2 please
What a beautiful video
Where did you get those glass beads from?
This was super awesome.
I enjoy braniac videos
My mom has a glass statue on her living room that has been intriguing me for years. In the day it was blue, and purple at night. Now I know why. Thanks
Definitely wanna see that
